"Can you show me how you calculate
shipping?"
"I am an online seller - please send me your shipping tables"
"Why don't you just publish your shipping rates calculation on your
website?"
"Why isn't the postage/delivery cost displayed alongside the cost of the
items?"
SORRY-
The only way you can work out shipping rates is to log in, put items in
your
cart, and preview the shipping cost in the checkout process. You can
then go
back, change the items in your cart, and see how the prices change if
you order
more or fewer pieces.
The calculation is automatic based on your shipping address and the
weight band
for the items.
Have a go - it's quite easy!
There are two reasons why we can't publish fixed shipping rates or put
them in
a table on our website:
1: Displaying the calculation chart would be too big. Imagine over 100
location
codes, 50 weight bands, factoring of constants for each combination,
exceptions, etc. Now imagine this information, but for four or five
different
courier companies. You can't represent that in a simple way, which is
why we just
let customers preview calculations for their order in the checkout
system.
2: The shipping rates for different countries are changed monthly by the
courier companies, so shipping quotes are not a static equation. This
means
that publishing the information online is even more unfeasible.
As a matter of policy we don't copy our shipping rates table for other
online
sellers.
